Children Of Frost (Book 1: Spirit Tales)

Epilogue

"So?" Jack asked looking at her. He had wondered who she was talking about, but they must be the reason the other three seasons were names as such. But he had never meet them. Maybe they didn't get along with Winter. "What happened?"

"We were trained," Winter told him while rolling her eyes. "Did you really think they were going to throw us into the deep end? Were you?"

"No. Are they still with you?"

"Who still with me?"

"Alex, Rose, Lily and such."

"In my heart," Winter told him. Lily, Alex and Rose had moved on years ago, while with Dylan and Hunter. She saw her mother one last time before she did so, which sadly, was only a few cycles, or years, after she had become a Winter spirit (as they were now called). "But Soyala and Euell are still with me. So's Jasmine."

"How came I've never meet Jasmine?"

Winter only looked at him with sad eyes, before looking at her wall. It's been awhile, since she thought about what happened.

"Never mind. Did you ever tell them your age in the end?"

"They never asked."

"So how old are you? If you don't mind."

"Jack, Jack. I've had hundreds of years to get used to it," Winter told him, her smile returning to her face. Making Jack very happy that he was able to make her smile, when he first meet her, he couldn't. She would only look at him. "Of course I don't care. Physically speaking I'm only ten years old."

"You're young."

"Says you."

"Yes, says me."

"Ha ha, you're only what?" Winter asked putting her head on her hand. "Fifteen when you were turned. These days you have to be what? Eighteen, sixteen or twenty-one, depending on where you are. To be considered an adult?"

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Jack asked rolling his eyes. Sure he was younger then her. Having only been around since the seventeenth century, and just the start of it. "Are are you going to continue teasing me?"

"We have a meeting," Winter told him while going to her door. She doubted that moron would still be there, he might have asked around about her. Not that she actually cared. "And then you'll be going to New Zealand and I'll be going to Australia, we do have duties. Even if no one sees the point in them."

"Well...." Jack said going into the hallway. "We better make sure the rain's on time, along with some snow. You'll tell me when we get back?"

"Of course Jack. You're the only one who wants to know."

"True."

Winter only smiled at him. It had been awhile since she thought back to the start, before it all happened. She still wore the necklace Daisy and Jasmine gave her, along with the one Alex and Rose made, then the one Dylan left her, along with the one Lily wanted to give her. She had them all with her, along with the fact that most of them were reborn. Their souls remembering what happened, but not the bodies they were in.

"Lily was right," she said after she couldn't see Jack anymore. "No matter what, I am loved. And now, I'll make sure that he remembers that his always loved. That's my promise Jack. I won't leave you alone."
